I got this for my wife and lost the care tag. If I could just get its name it would be much appreciated.
Hello and Welcome to Project Noah! This is your first spotting, one of my favorite ornamentals, the variegated croton. They look absolutely glorious in full sunlight. Since Project Noah is really about wildlife I would encourage you to now move outside to make your spottings. You can read right here http://www.projectnoah.org/faq about "What types of photos should I submit as spottings?" and "How about houseplants and garden plants?". We hope you like the site (and community!) as much as we do. There are many features you can explore, but again you should first read the http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the advice and "rules" of Project Noah :-) We also have a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from our specialists from different areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures". There is also a support chat for technical help and a nature chat to connect with other PN users. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know but that have not yet been identified, and make other comments on other's spottings, and they on yours. We also have "missions" you can join and add spottings to http://www.projectnoah.org/missions Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add to a mission if your spotting is outside of the mission boundaries :-) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :-)
I am pretty sure this is Croton "Petra" Codiaeum (Origins: South India.) Needs lots of sunlight and needs lots of water too. Temp. 70-90 degrees. I have this plant in my house too. It grows really fast.
